Im still saying the whole ordeal goes back to gun running to Syria from Libya. Stand down orders went to the Seal members to avoid uncovering the CIA local there. They disobeyed (or someone gave the go ahead outside the chain of command) No aid was sent because they didn't want the CIA activity there known. Ambassador was collateral damage. White house has an Iran Contra with a dead Ambassador. Hoped they could get the media to make it go away but a leak kept occurring.. Now that Patraeus has stepped down those magic leaks somehow stop all of a sudden.
